Sadly Over-hyped
Best movie ever!
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
No Hindi movie in recent memory had a screenplay and visuals like that of Aamir, a movie with débutant director Raj Kumar Gupta and débutant lead actor Rajeev Khandelval, along with the débutant music composer and cinematographer.Also, for the first ever time the dingy by lanes in the dirtiest parts of the dreamy film city Bombay (Mumbai) have been captured on the big screen. If Bluffmaster captured Mumbai in all its splendour, Aamir catches the city off guard, showing things no one ever dared to think about, let alone show.Imagery is central to the entire idea of the movie Aamir. Once when the protagonist bumps into a pole right in the middle of the narrow lane in which he was chasing his bag snatchers, the poster towards the left announces "a gift for you". Similarly there is a TV visual in Aamir's room in the lodge which is showing a familiar discovery/animal planet video of a leopard chasing its prey, and the one where the mafia don is casually playing with a monkey faced puppet while talking on phone, prodding and knocking the toy whenever it gets stuck. Another interesting theme is the portrait shots of quaint characters on the street and in the surroundings. Normally such visuals are reserved for the climax or some central (normally disturbing) incident in a movie. Over here, the entire film is peppered with such portraiture. Amidst all these settings and scenarios is the taut, tough story that grips you almost from the word go and never lets it hold slacken even once. People may ask, why catch a stranger, why not some expert hand? Well I guess that strangers entail lesser risks of getting caught. Even if Aamir would have been captured, it would have been him only who faced the music. By the time the authorities figure out, the mafia don would be conveniently out of the country, having eliminated as much evidence as possible. An interesting thing is that barring Aamir and his family, barely anyone else has a name. Everyone is unknown; the area alien, the voices threatening and the looks menacing. Rajeev Khandelval surely impresses in his maiden effort (I don't watch TV serials so haven't seen him there). However, his role, due to the tautness of the screenplay, is unidimensional. It will take him a few more movies to fully figure out his potential and/or limitations.
You would be glued to the screen from start to finish. Debutant lead, Rajiv Khandelwal gives a powerful performance. A must watch! One of those movies which leave their impression on you for ever. It depicts a story which can happen to anyone in today's world. Aamir's character is so perfect that you feel yourself sliding into the protagonist's shoes. The songs are a mix of soulful renditions as well as peppy numbers that keep you humming long after the movie. Amit Trivedi truly finds the chords with this one. He too has gone a long way with compositions in Dev.D and Wake up Sid. "Ha Raham (Mehfuz)" - Murtuza-Qadir, Amitabh and Amit Trivedi, "Chakkar Ghumyo" - Amit Trivedi, "Phas Gaya (Never Mind)" - Neuman Pinto are particularly nice numbers.
Aamir is the harrowing story of a NRI doctor Aamir; who returns to India for better. He was happy, smiling to meet up with his family after years. Little did he expect the kind of ordeal he was going to face on landing in Mumbai.After landing in Airport, while he was trying to take a taxi, two motor cycle borne youth threw a cell phone to him. From there starts the game of Muslim fundamentalists to use him as a media to plant bombs in a bus which they want to blow off. What happens ultimately is not what the extremist thought off. Aamir blows himself up rather than the bus. The extremists could not convince him that he is a Muslim and he should fight for the rights of Muslim. Rather his take was if you want to grow, work hard not get jealous of others who grow.The movie marks the debut of actor Rajeev Khandelwal, with no heroines, songs in the movie and directed by Rajkumar Gupta, the movie is a masterpiece. A movie which is very different from the movies being made today and stands out.
This movie is almost a scene by scene copy from the Filipino movie Cavite released in 2005 and directed by Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon. Check out this IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428303Plot Summary for Cavite: Adam, a security guard, travels from California to the Philippines, his native land, for his father's funeral. He arrives in Manila. As he waits, a phone rings in his backpack; he answers it, and a male voice tells him that his mother and sister are captives and will be killed if Adam doesn't cooperate. Over the next hour, the voice sends Adam by bus, taxi, motorized tricycle, and on foot through an urban landscape of busy streets, cramped apartments, a fetid squatters' camp, a bank, a cockfighting arena, and a church. Adam's conversations with the voice cover murder, Islam, jihad, rebellion in Mindanao, and his family. What is it Adam will be commanded to do? Will he acquiesce?Does this seem familiar? I had thought this was an honest and original effort on the makers of "Aamir"s part but alas they keep copying stuff.Damn you guys.... Come up with something original.
